Police wound second suspect in Warm Springs shooting case
OLCC corks home-brew for now By Scott Hammers The Bulletin
Homemade beer and wine will have to stay at home until the Legislature intervenes, according to an opinion issued by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission on Thursday. Consuming home-brewed products away from home has been in a state of limbo since late June, when the OLCC turned to the Department
of Justice for an interpretation of a long-ignored state statute. According to the DOJ’s interpretation, all homemade alcoholic beverages must be consumed where they are made, putting home-brewing clubs, homebrewing contests, and gifts of homemade beer and wine on the wrong side of the law. Both the Oregon State Fair and the Deschutes County Fair elected to can-
cel their beer and wine competitions in response to the announcement. Hoping to find a way around the controversy that ensued, the OLCC and the DOJ investigated further, but have determined only the Legislature has the authority to change the law. Christie Scott, spokeswoman for the OLCC, said her agency is committed to seeing the law changed. See Home-brew / A4
“We can’t change a statute, because trust me, if we could change it, we’d be in the process of doing so.” — Christie Scott, OLCC spokeswoman

A man was wounded on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation on Thursday afternoon after a shootout with police officers. His eventual surrender and arrest ended a two-month manhunt after shots were fired at officers in May. At about 1 p.m., Warm Springs Police officers surrounded a home in the West Hills of the reservation where they believed Aldo Inez Antunez, 32, was located. Antunez was wanted concerning several incidents in May when shots were fired at police officers. Neighbors were evacuated, and roadblocks were put up to keep bystanders away. Police said a shot was fired from inside the home. More shots came. One police officer returned fire. Shortly after, Antunez called Warm Springs Police dispatch. He told the dispatcher he had been shot and wanted to give up. Antunez walked out of the front door of the home without weapons. Police officers took him into custody. He was transported to Mountain View Hospital and then picked up by Air Link and flown to St. Charles Bend. See Manhunt / A5
FAMOUS FACES AT THE CCC
LeMond’s in town – for Landis
BP’s ‘Skunk Works’ team weighs ideas on oil spill By Bob Drogin Los Angeles Times
BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. — Gerry Matherne recently built a helicopter from “a bit of this and a piece of that,” which made him a minor star on YouTube when the engine died in midair — and he didn’t. He somehow landed the crippled craft beside power lines. “I’m always inventing something,” said the gruff 61-year-old captain of an oil supertanker. “When I was a boy, a wristwatch was never safe in my hands. I’d dismantle anything to see how it ran.” So when Matherne learned of the runaway BP oil leak, he considered it a personal challenge. He drove to a hardware store, bought some window screens and PVC pipe, and began to tinker.

Cycling legend backs accusations of Armstrong doping By Mark Morical The Bulletin
Faster, cheaper, more efficient The result is the first device that, according to BP engineers and Coast Guard officials, promises a faster, cheaper and more efficient way to remove spilled oil than traditional skimmers in the Gulf of Mexico. Matherne’s apparatus looks like a trash bag in a giant crab trap, but it works like a sieve to snag sludge and oil while sea water passes through. BP officials say they aim to build and deploy 100 units by the end of the month, and add more after that if needed. See Skunk Works / A5

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond stood in a tent in the parking lot at Bend’s Summit High School on Thursday morning, describing the features of his new Revolution Bike Trainer as curious cyclists gave it a spin. A crew was filming a spot for his new product, but that was not LeMond’s primary reason for being in Central Oregon. “I’ve got a friend here, and I’m here supporting Floyd Landis,” LeMond said. “There’s a lot of pressure (on Landis). He’s a good guy that kind of got sidetracked by a bad system.” Landis, who is in Central Oregon this week competing in the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic, won the Tour de France in 2006 but was stripped of his title after testing positive
for synthetic testosterone. Earlier this year, after four years of denial, Landis admitted to doping during his pro cycling career. He also came out with allegations accusing fellow American rider Lance Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France winner (1999-2005), of doping. LeMond, 49, of Medina, Minn., said he is supporting Landis because he believes Landis is telling the truth in his accusations against Armstrong and other cyclists. “I know what’s going on,” LeMond said. “I’m not an idiot. What (Landis) says has been repeated by multiple people. So, it’s not a surprise to me. The surprise is that it’s taken this long.” In 1986, LeMond became the first American cyclist to win the Tour de France. He also won the Tour in 1989 and 1990. See LeMond / A4

Visitors look at the Ruscitti watch collection, most made between the late 16th and 19th centuries, at the Galileo Museum in Florence, Italy. The history of science museum, recently renovated and renamed to honor Galileo, has added three fingers and a molar sliced from Galileo’s corpse nearly a century after he died.
FLORENCE, Italy — The Galileo case is often seen starkly as science’s first decisive blow against not only faith but also the power of the Roman Catholic Church. It has never been quite that simple, though. Galileo was a believer, devastated at being convicted, in 1633, of heresy for upending the biblical view of the universe. Now a particularly enduring Catholic practice is on prominent display in, of all places, Florence’s history of science museum, recently renovated and renamed to honor Galileo. Modern-day supporters of the famous
heretic are exhibiting newly recovered bits of his body — three fingers and a gnarly molar sliced from his corpse nearly a century after he died — as if they were the relics of an actual saint. “He’s a secular saint, and relics are an important symbol of his fight for freedom of thought,” said Paolo Galluzzi, director of the Galileo Museum, which put the tooth, thumb and index finger on view last month, uniting them with another of the scientist’s digits already in its collection. “He’s a hero and martyr to science,” he added.
